Roberto Bolano Quotes

Do You Know What The Worst Thing About Literature Is? . What? I Said. That You End Up Being Friends With Writers. And Friendship, Treasure Though It May Be, Destroys Your Critical Sense. Once, Said Don Pancracio, Monteforte Toledo Dropped This Riddle In My Lap: A Poet Is Lost In A City On The Verge Of Collapse, With No Money, Or Friends, Or Anyone To Turn To. And Of Course, He Neither Wants Nor Plans To Turn To Anyone. For Several Days He Roams The City And The Country, Eating Nothing, Or Eating Scraps. He's Even Stopped Writing. Or He Writes In His Head: In Other Words, He Hallucinates. All Signs Point To An Imminent Death. His Drastic Disappearance Foreshadows It. And Yet The Poet Doesn't Die.
